“Be sure don’t let people’s telling you, you are pretty, puff you up; for you did not make yourself, and so can have no praise due to you for it. It is virtue and goodness only, that make the true beauty.” ― Samuel Richardson, Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded

“I feel that the kinks, curls, or tight coils in Afro hair is beautiful and unique. No other race on this planet has hair like ours – that makes me proud.” ― Monica Millner, Natural and Free: Journey to Natural Beauty
